All left-wing activists, whether it be WTO, anti-WTO, or anti-war, are idealistic as framed by the Democratic Media Complex.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The biased left-wing media does what it wants. That's not going to define me or hamper me.
I don't view myself as a political leftie. I view myself as a storyteller who is fair to both sides.
I guess intractable right-wing ideologues are my mortal enemy.
There will always be a certain element of extremists on either side, left or right, who no mainstream news outlet is going to satisfy.
Even though I'm a leftist. I think the left eats its own.
But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we're an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we're going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause.
There was a time when liberalism was identified with anti-Communism. But the Vietnam War led liberals into the arms of the Left, which had been morally confused about Communism since its inception and had become essentially pacifist following the carnage of World War I.
I have never really thought that the Left was much in 'array' as far as political purposes were concerned.
When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off. The right-wing media is trying to marginalize the peace movement.
To make the argument that the media has a left- or right-wing, or a liberal or a conservative bias, is like asking if the problem with Al-Qaeda is do they use too much oil in their hummus.
